Example our old house was sold at 180k and is now 600k and that was a 3bed semi on an estate nothing posh big or flash.

So are you more worried about inheriting much more than you might have expected a few decades ago, or about leaving too much to your children :-)

Only 1 child
So both

But we'll give him money early so hopefully not much to leave when we get there πŸ˜‚

I have a similar story. I was working on a programme of redundancies once.

When we looked at a staff list there was someone who the manager believed left a few years before.

Turned out they had been off long term sick and there had been about two changes of line manager and therefore was forgotten about.
